Simba

Male · Kitten · 3 months

Simba was found near the Črnomerec stream. People noticed him at a spot where they wanted to park their car to walk their dog. The kitten was alone, sad and sick. He had red eyes and was sneezing. That's why people took him to the vet. Simba spent a few days in treatment at the Infectious Diseases Clinic of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. The finders then took him in for temporary foster care and he recovered successfully. He ate well and learned to use the toilet. He proved to be an extremely affectionate and gentle kitten and grew very fond of the people, but since they already have two dogs and a cat, they couldn't keep Simba, no matter how much they wanted to. Simba is FCV positive, so the foster parents need to follow veterinary instructions.

HR·Show original

Simba je pronađen uz potok Črnomerec. Ljudi su ga uočili na mjestu gdje su htjeli parkirati automobil kako bi prošetali psa. Mače je bilo samo, jadno i bolesno. Imalo je crvene oči i šmrcalo je. Zato su ga ljudi odveli veterinaru. Nekoliko dana Simba je proveo na liječenju u Klinici za zarazne bolesti Veterinarskog fakulteta. Nalaznici su ga potom primili na privremeno udomljenje i kod njih se uspješno oporavio. Lijepo je jeo i naučio koristiti WC. Pokazao se kao izuzetno drag, nježan i umiljat mačić i ljudima je jako prirastao srcu, no budući da već imaju dva psa i mačku, koliko god su to željeli, Simbu nisu mogli zadržati. Simba je FCV pozitivan pa se udomitelji trebaju držati veterinarskih uputa.

About Simba

What life with Simba looks like

Simba is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Dumovec in Zagreb.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇭🇷Adopting from Croatia

Croatian shelters include sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID in the adoption process. Several work with Italian and German rescue networks for placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Simba, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Simba?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dumovec handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Simba on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Simba if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dumovec will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Simba already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Simba isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dumovec early rather than rehoming privately; they know Simba and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (HR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
